Do you love to doodle? Then the challenge this week is perfect for you. The challenge is to doodle on your project.
I decided that doodling a blanket stitch and making the background look like a cozy baby blanket would be perfect for this image! I colored Sweet Dreams Moon with Copics. I didn't have a die that fit the image, so I used a smaller one and let it just peek out of the top edge of the image. I also doodled on the yellow border.

Mismatched Madness
The challenge at Meljen's Designs is to use paper from at least two different manufacturers. This was an easy one for me. I rarely use paper from the same manufacturer. Some of my paper I bought so long ago, I have no idea who even printed it in the first place! I did make sure to pull out paper that I knew so I could be sure they were from different manufacturers.
I used Swim Time Mouse and colored him with Copics to match my papers. The stripe is from My Mind's Eye. It is the Stella and Rose-Mabel collection. The other patterned paper is from Carta Bella and is the Winter Fun collection.

Tag! You're It!
Tag was always so much fun to play as a kid. It is just as much fun to play as an adult...as long as it is the crafting kind. I am fairly certain I could not run to goal if I tried! Our challenge this week is to use or create a tag in your project.
I used Kitty Cat Cuddles and of course colored it with Copics. I decided to make the card tag shaped. Rather than pull out the Cricut, I just marked off the corners at a 45 degree angle using an acrylic quilting ruler. I just don't have a place to set the Expression up right now! I have had these stray metal tags rolling around in my stash for ages. They are pretty small so it is hard to find a sentiment that fits. I stamped the letter on a punched circle and embossed with silver embossing powder. I used all of them! Woohoo! One more thing cleaned out of the stash. The twine at the bottom of the card is actually the strings from the tags. I just knotted them, staggered the knots and cut off the tails.
I can't wait to see what projects you come up with now that you are "it"!
